Even Today

Even today......
That Love.......
The first ever of my life....

Anxiety like comfort
Comfort like anxiety
A wilderness like heaven
A heaven like wilderness

The Love
That made my aloneness easy for me
Altered the words into the whole Universe
An episode of dream

But……………

When I opened my eyes
Every thing was shattered
The moon was dispossessed of its light
So as the delicate scent of rose
As life got apart from the heart

So as him…………

Like the sea shores
After the waves have departed………..
The flames burnt the heart into ashes
Should I call it a squall or a torrent?
That left nothing

Such anguish
No word can portray the meaning of…………

There is none in my eyes, in my reminiscences, in my heart
Even Today
Even after the spell of years

Even Today
That Love
Makes me weep
Makes me awake

I don’t know how he is making his life now days
He (also) might be thinking and remembering me

Perhaps
He may also feel the gentle touch in his heart
Of that first Love that lives in my heart

EVEN TODAY……
